How New Hampshire taxes your paycheck
New Hampshire does not tax wages, so your paycheck only has federal deductions: federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare. That makes take-home pay in New Hampshire higher than in most states for the same salary.
Figures are from NH DRA: Interest & Dividends Tax (tax year 2026).
